Calendars

Each Amahi server has a calendar server in it. With it, client sofware (like Outlook, iCal, Sunbird, Thunderbird or Chandler) can publish and also subscribe to calendars published in your HDA.

To publish or subscribe to a calendar in this server, you need four things:

A client calendar program (see below),
The publishing location or URL, which is: http://calendar/, and
The calendar name of your choice, typically Home, John, etc.

In addition, you can also install a "client" application to browse calendars in your HDA, like iCalendar

Calendars can be created with widely available clients such as:

Apple iCal, for Mac OS X.
Mozilla Sunbird, for multiple platforms.
Windows Calendar, for Windows Vista.
... and many others.

Technically, the HDA has a WebDAV server, commonly used for sharing online calendars and other files.

IMPORTANT: Only one calendar publisher is supported per calendar.

Note: some clients may require that the name have the ical extension, e.g. Home.ics; you may need to experiment.

Outlook synchronization support!

Publishing URL

The publishing URL for the calendar is http://calendar/<CalendarName> . If that fails to work, try http://calendar.yourdomain.com/.

The <CalendarName> part maybe Home, or Home.ics (try this last one first).

Some clients, notably Sunbird, require that the name of the calendar have the ical extension (which is .ics), e.g. Home.ics. You may need to experiment with this until it works. If you calendar client asks for a username and password, use your normal login details. Please add your experiences in this page.

Names with spaces are supported.
